* UnCanceled: On 14 December 2016 SBS announced that Kim Jong-Kook and Song Ji-Hyo would be let go and a Season 2 would be launched with the four remaining cast members (Gary had left two months prior to focus on his music career) plus Kang Ho-dong. Reaction was negative, especially after it was revealed that ''none of the cast members themselves were previously notified of the decision''. The cast held an emergency meeting two days later and announced that they would stick together to make a GrandFinale to air the following February. The series itself became Un-Canceled on January 24, after the new VP of SBS Entertainment Headquarters Nam Seung-yong (who had first planned the series way back in 2010) met individually with each of the members and offered his apologies for the whole controversy; the cast agreed to continue the program as it stood.
